What is not clear is the length of the interruption that will be tolerated. The standard applied appears to be that one has not resided continuously in the United States if there has been a "meaningful interruption" of the aliens presence in the country. That standard is subject to interpretation and disagreement. As I mentioned earlier. the legalization program is not and should not be considered a "reward" for illegal Immigration. It is a recognition of our past failures in controlling illegal immigration. It is an attempt to "wipe the slate clean" and start anew. This can be accomplished only if the standards set forth in these provisions are followed.
